Create computed field with multiple for multiple sorting options
My client wants to be able to sort products in order of 4 different fields. I was told there is a way to do this by creating a new computed fields that will take these 4 fields and allow for sorting by this new field.
Would anyone know how this is achieved?
Hi Andrew,
I'm not sure of what you want to achieve exactly. Is it possible to describe it in more details?
We have a product that has many fields. We currently have a sort on one fields. Was told there is a way to make a computed field that can take 4 fields and mark the product for sorting. So instead of order by. then order by.. etc, this computed fields can take care of that.
Do you need multi-sort server side (using LINQ) or client side (using the JavaScript Framework)?
What you have been told is probably to use a Query Function, that will create a new numerical field with the four input fields (provided you can come up with a formula that makes sense).
A Computed Field is a computation added to a facet (for example, average of field Y for every facet value of field X), so it wouldn't be of much use here.
